Loving the milk crate idea.

Only took half an hour to have the diff installed and bolted up, last car it took 2 of us heaps more time balancing wood and jacks. The milk crate method is soooo much easier if your installing in the driveway. Diff overhang each end of the crate so you can jack each end and use bits of wood to lock it into place while you put the bolts in.

Also the VE rims on the green car are for sale on Gum Tree for $800 if anyone is after a set. Firestone TZ100 tyres with 2 having 6mm of tread and 2 having 5mm.

I've reached the end of my photo allowance so no more updates fokes :(

Diff installer was a fab time saver and worked a treat :)

The white paint mostly poloished out with only a fine line on the wheel arch. The door you cant really see that much.

The wife wants to keep the purple VY as it runs on gas and is in real good nic for a 140k car. Just need to paaint the front.

I also snuck in a purple s pac that is s/c that just needs paint so I may have matching VY s pacs lol. Picked that one up for $1800.
